Victor ZieglerListen, Bill. Nobody killed anybody. Someone died. It happens all the time. Life goes on. It always does, until it doesn't. But you know that, don't you?
Alice HarfordMillions of years of evolution, right? Right? Men have to stick it in every place they can, but for women... women it is just about security and commitment and whatever the fuck else!
Dr. Bill HarfordA little oversimplified, Alice, but yes, something like that.
Alice HarfordLet's not use that word, you know? It frightens me. But I do love you. And, you know, there's something very important that we need to do as soon as possible.
Sandor SzavostDon't you think one of the charms of marriage is that it makes deception a necessity for both parties? May I ask why a beautiful woman who could have any man in this room wants to be married?
Alice HarfordSo, because I'm a beautiful woman, the only reason any man wants to talk to me is because he wants to fuck me? Is that what you're saying?

Victor ZieglerBill, I don't think you realize how much trouble you got yourself into last night just by going over there. Who do you think those people were? Those were not just some ordinary people. If I told you their names... no, I'm not going to tell you their names... but if I did, I don't think you'd sleep so well at night.
Dr. Bill Harford[Sobbing in front of Alice]I'll tell you everything!

Dr. Bill HarfordThe woman lying dead in the morgue was the woman at the party. Well, Victor, maybe I'm missing something here. You call it fake, a charade... Do you mind telling me what kind of fucking charade ends up with somebody turning up dead?
Victor Ziegler[getting angry and defensive]Okay Bill... let's cut the bullshit, alright? You've been way out of your depth for the last 24 hours! You want to know what kind of charade? I'll tell you what kind. That whole play-acted, "take me" phony sacrifice that you've been jerking off with had nothing to do with her real death. The truth is nothing happened to her after you left that party that hadn't happened to her before. She got her brains fucked out. Period! She was just fine when they took her back to her hotel room. And the rest is all there in the paper. There was no foul play regarding her death. She OD'd. She was alone in her room, her door was locked from the inside, the police are happy... end of story! Come on, Bill. You said it yourself to Mandy... that woman with the big tits who OD'd in my bathroom? She was an addict. You told her yourself the other night that it was only a matter of time before it came to that.
Nick NightingaleNo, it's the truth. And the last time, the blindfold wasn't on so well. Oh, man. Bill, I have seen one or two things in my life, but never, never anything like this - and never such women.

Red Cloak[pleasantly]Please, come forward. May I have the password please?
Dr. Bill Harford[short pause]I'm sorry. I seem to have... forgotten it.
Red CloakThat's unfortunate! Because here, it doesn't matter whether you have forgotten it... or if you never knew it. You will kindly remove your mask.
[Bill slowly removes his mask. The red cloaked cult leader continues talking in a pleasant tone]
Victor ZieglerBill... What the hell did you think you were doing there? I couldn't... I couldn't even begin to imagine how you'd even heard about it, let alone got yourself through the front door. And then I remembered seeing you talking with that prick piano player, Nick... or whatever the fuck his name was, at my party here the other night. And it didn't take much to figure out the rest.
Victor ZieglerOf course it was Nick's fault! If he hadn't mentioned this to you in the first place, none of this would have happened. I recommended that little cocksucker to those people, and now he's made me look like a complete asshole by telling you about it!
Dr. Bill Harford[humbly]Victor... what can I say? I had absolutely no idea you were involved in any way.
Victor ZieglerI know you didn't, Bill. But I also know that you went to Nick's hotel this morning and spoke with the desk clerk.
Victor ZieglerOkay, yes I had you followed. I owe you an apology. I'm sorry. But it was for your own good. I know you went to Nick's hotel looking for him and I know what the desk clerk told you. But what the desk clerk didn't tell you was that those two men with Nick... all they did was drive Nick to the airport and put him on a plane back to Seattle. I assure you that Nick is safely back home and he's probably banging Mrs. Nick as we speak.
Dr. Bill HarfordThe desk clerk said that Nick has a bruise on his face... a black eye. That he looked frightened as if he was just badly beaten up.
Victor ZieglerYeah? Okay, so Nick had a bruise. But that's the least he deserved for telling you about that party the other night.

MarionI love you. I don't want to go away with Carl.
MarionI do, even if I'm never to see you again, I want at least to live near you.
Dr. Bill HarfordMarion, listen to me, listen to me. You're very upset right now and I don't think you realize what you're saying.
MarionI love you.
Dr. Bill HarfordWe barely know each other. I don't think we've had a single conversation about anything except your father.
MarionI love you.

Dr. Bill HarfordWas it the second password? Is that what gave me away?
Victor ZieglerYes, finally. But not because you didn't know it. It's because there was no second password. Of course it didn't help you too much that those people arrived there in limos... and you showed up in a taxi. Or that when they took your coat, they found the receipt to the costume from the rental house in your pocket made out to you-know-who.

Dr. Bill HarfordThere was a... there was a... there was, uh... a woman there. Who, uh, tried to warn me.
Victor ZieglerBill, suppose I told you that... that everything that happened to you there... the threats, the- the girl's warnings, her last minute intervention, suppose I said that all of that... was staged. That it was a kind of charade. That it was fake.
Victor ZieglerBill, I... I know what happened to you last night. And I know what's been going on since. And I think you just might have got the wrong idea about one or two things.
Dr. Bill Harford[feigning ignorance]I'm sorry Victor, but... what the hell are you talking about?
Victor ZieglerPlease, Bill... no games. I was there. At the house. "The house". I saw you, Bill. I saw everything.
Mysterious Woman[whispering]I don't think you realize the danger you're in now. You cannot fool them for much longer. You need to get away, right now, before it's too late!
Mysterious WomanBecause it could cost me my life, and probably yours.
Dr. Bill Harford[moves to remove her mask]At least let me see your face.
Mysterious WomanNo! Go... now!

Alice HarfordNo! It's not the pot. It's you! Why can't you ever give me a straight fucking answer?

Mysterious WomanStop! Let him go! I am ready to redeem him. Take me!
Red Cloak[stands up from his throne]You are ready to redeem him? Do you realize what you are taking upon yourself... in doing this?
Mysterious WomanYes!
[there is a pause as the masked and cloaked cult members murmer and gasp while Bill looks on]
Red CloakVery well. Take her away.
[to Bill]
Red CloakMister... you are free to go. But I warn you... if you make any further inquires, or if you tell a single soul about what you've seen here tonight... there will be very dire consequences for you and your family! Do you understand?
Dr. Bill Harford[as he watches the mysterious woman being led away by another cult member]What is going to happen to that woman?
Red CloakNo one can change her fate now. When a promise has been made here, there is no turning back. As for you... you are free. Go!
Alice HarfordWe were in a deserted city and our clothes were gone. We were naked and I was terrified and I felt ashamed. Oh, God, and I was angry because I thought it was your fault. You rushed away to go find my clothes for us. As soon as you were gone, it was completely different. I felt wonderful.

Sandor SzavostDid you ever read the Latin poet Ovid on "The Art of Love"?
Alice HarfordDidn't he wind up all by himself, crying his eyes out, in some place with a very bad climate?
Sandor SzavostBut he also had a good time first. A very good time.
Alice HarfordWe were making love. Then there were all these other people around us hundreds of them, everywhere. Everyone was fucking. And then I - I was fucking other men. So many l don't know how many I was with. And I knew you could see me in the arms of all these men just kissing, fucking all these men.

Alice HarfordThere is something very important that we need to do as soon as possible...
Alice HarfordLet's say, for example, you have some gorgeous woman standing in your office naked and you're feeling her fucking tits. Now, what I want to know - I want to know what you're thinking about when you're squeezing them.
Dr. Bill HarfordAlice, I happen to be a doctor. It's all very impersonal.
Alice HarfordMaybe I think we should be grateful. Grateful that we've managed to survive through all of our adventures - whether they were real - or only a dream.
